Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. It's all tokens now. They havn't installed the coin insert thingy on the washers/dryers on the Discovery Princess yet, so it's currently free.
  2. I got mine's back 3 months later. I think it's automatic. It just takes a very long time to get it processed.
  3. It is but there's QoS, so speedtest is sometimes not the most accurate. At the end of the day, the internet connection get prioritized for operations.
  4. Just got off the Discovery and while I liked the juice bar, it was my favorite. They premade all the ingredients so no blending is required. What you get is less waiting in line but waterdowned juices. On the Enchanted, they premeasure all the ingredients but they juice it in front of you, which I found tasted much better.
  5. Just got off the Discovery Princess. Same speed as everyone else. About 3-4M down and 1M up with about 120ms ping. Did a bunch of video conference calls on Teams with screensharing and it wasn't an issue at all. Not sure if it was compression rate on Teams or the QoS on Princess's network prioritizes video calling but it worked well (not perfected, but doable).
  6. Just got off the Discovery Princess on Saturday. It's 6pm at Take 5 every night.
  7. Does anyone know if Starlink is running on the Grand?
  8. I did this cruise in May 2022. Not close enough to pick up signal. The internet was fine for checking emails. I tried an audio conference call and was too laggy for it to work.
  9. 75min is legal connection time for international flight at CDG on paper. In reality, it is a flip of a coin. It can take up to anywhere from 30min to 2-3hrs to get through exit customs leaving EU. If you have SkyPriority, there is a separate line that helps things go a bit faster, but again, it is a crapshoot. I fly Delta and Air France a lot for my Europe trips and that is my experience. Also, I'm surprised they max out at 5hr connection time. I've booked on 8-10hr connections without issues, which gives me an opportunity to grab a bite in Paris.
  10. I have a Canadian Amex and use their Amex offers all the time. The credit triggers base on whatever the credit card statement is regardless of what you're paying to NCL. So at long as you're paying that $1000CAD or more to NCL, it will trigger the credit.
  11. I never understand why we need to tag at the port. VV should just provide luggage tags so we can pre-print them at home if we want to. tip the porter and leave instead of waiting around for them to tag the luggage.
  12. I just booked a cruise on the Scarlet Lady for next week and notice they don't have any PRIDE/LGBTQ+ meetups. It is hard meeting other gay people? I usually rely on these meetups as my gaydar is kinda broken. LOL
  13. I did the TA last March on the Regal Princess. I had a good time, though the internet was unusable. Going in April on the Regal again for the TA.
  14. ....have a cruise coming up (first HAL since the restart) and this is so disappointing to read....
  15. Is this new or they offer it on every Christmas cruise?
